Brighton 'given a helping hand' by Aston Villa - Murphy
Former Premier League midfielder Danny Murphy has praised Brighton for their "superb" performance against Aston Villa at Amex Stadium. Fabian Hurzeler's side kicked off the 2026-27 Premier League campaign with an impressive 4-0 win over Unai Emery's Europa League-winning team. "There was so much to like about Brighton, but Aston Villa didn't half give them a helping hand," Murphy said on Match of the Day. "It was woeful after the first goal. You are away from home in the first game of the season and you cannot afford to give your opponent any impetus. "You could see what Brighton were trying to do as well. It was so obvious but, take nothing away, they did it so well. "Brighton were superb - it was a great start for them." Catch up on Match of the Day on BBC iPlayer
